Description:Three decades of biomonitoring studies demonstrate its usefulness in assessing population exposure to environmental chemicals. Despite being firmly established in national surveillance programs and despite growth in laboratory capabilities at the state and local level, biomonitoring is not yet considered an essential public health service used by state and local public health programs. This document reviews uses of biomonitoring by state health departments and indicates how biomonitoring can become an integral part of environmental and public health practice.
